I am Democrat. Hear me ring.

I just spent the last couple of hours volunteering for the Democrats, working the phones to identify voters for get-out-the-vote calls later. Lessons learned:

• Lots of people in Redmond don't answer their phone between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.


• A surprisingly large number of people don't want to tell anybody who they're voting for.


• The age and gender breakdowns fit the stereotype pretty well, at least in the Redmond precinct I was calling: women and younger people lean toward Us.


• Democrats make good zucchini bread.


• Bill Clinton is a Jedi speech master. Too bad he can't run.

I am developing quite a crush on Bill Clinton. I think he is the best politican ever. He could talk me into anything. (yes, anything:)

Cary and I can't even think about a world in which the US has elected George Dubya Bush to two terms as President. I think we may have to leave the country if that happens.

Clinton is a Jedi Speech Master

Both Clintons can energize a crowd like nobody's business.

Hillary is good at the fiery roar speech...and Bill is good
and "talking" (not preaching, but talking as if over lunch) to
people in a direct, humorous, but to the point kinda way.

My goodness I will Bill Clinton could run again. As it were, I still believe Kerry is a good candidate and LORD knows we need to get that man into the White House

clinton is the best speech giver since reagan. no, i was never a reagan fan, but youve gotta admit the man could work a crowd.
i once manned the phones in a local democratic party campaign hq. it was for mcgovern vs nixon. :) i was also once the youngest assistant local democratic party chairman in the state of new york at age 18. im not that politically active anymore mostly due to disillusionment, but i have yet to miss an election, including locals.

Fishy has often, often spoken of Clinton as what would result if the bene geserit decided to train a politician.

I think somebody with Bene Geserit training would have had more self-control while in office. :/
